Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Recently had to take photos for my sister's friend's kids. Who said working with children was hard? We just went down to the beach and I let them explore their environment. Obviously the girl was easier to work with as I could ask her to do things like jump and run around.

These are just a few from the session.

Hope this is just a tad different from the night blue style of photography I've been doing lately :)

#2 is brilliant and so different from your usual stuff. #1 is a bit too kid photo/happy snap if you know what I mean. #3 is good, but not quite as strong compositionally as #2

Too bad! I can't see images from flickr as it's blocked here in this country. Sorry pal.

Wayne, no 2 is a standout - compositionally, I love the line in the sand from the child to the person in the background, the framing is fantastic and the pp work makes it really work.

Well done.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Number 2 is magic.

#3 is good but just misses that out on that something special #2 has. The first one is nice but by your standards looks a little snapshotish.
